Some recordings take decades to find their audience — this is one of them. Captured in a single intimate session in New York City on 9 December 1957, Embraceable You lay unreleased for nearly 40 years before finally seeing the light of day on CD in 1995.Just Chet Baker, a guitar, and a bass — no drums, no distractions. The result is some of the most quietly devastating jazz ever committed to tape. Baker's trumpet is tender and unhurried, his vocals barely above a whisper, and the trio format strips everything back to pure feeling. From the title track to Come Rain or Come Shine and On Green Dolphin Street, this is jazz at its most personal.Artist: Chet BakerLabel: Pacific Jazz Records / Blue NoteRecorded: 9 December 1957, New York CityReleased: 1995Format: CDTracks: 13Barcode: 724383167623Condition: PrelovedSKU: 18z71456 Show more
